Thomas Williams, The Great Salvation — Proposition 16
“ Dear reader, you may think that all "great and good men" are against us upon this question, and this may-have weight on your mind, as it has with many; and they say, "O well, if great men believe in the immortality of the soul it is no use for us to deny it, for they ought to know." ”
Thomas Williams, The Great Salvation — Proposition 16
“ Ponder over the following questions and see the folly of the doctrine of the immortality of the soul:Since the Bible speaks of a living man (Gen. 2:7) as a living soul, and a dead man as a dead soul, (Num. 6:6; 9:10) (the word body in these verses is from nephesh) , and since Paul defines a living soul to be a natural body (I Cor. 15:44, 45) , how can you speak of the soul as immortal, deathless? ”
Thomas Williams, The Great Salvation — Proposition 16
“ If to have a soul is to have immortality, then the beasts have immortality; for they are said to have souls, as you will see by the verses already quoted and the following:Num. 31:28; Job 12:10; Prov. 12:10. (The word life is from nephesh, soul.) Popular teachers say the soul is immortal. They cannot give you their description of man without using the words "immortal soul" and yet Moses, the prophets, Christ and His apostles never used the words in all the nearly one thousand times they use the word soul. Immortal was never a prefix to the word soul with them. ”
